In a move that is sure to get liberal snowflakes rushing to their safe spaces faster than ever, Princeton University is now encouraging students
to report “problematic experiences based on [their] identity.” This
means that if students find themselves in a situation that makes them
feel offended or uncomfortable in anyway, they can – and should,
according to Princeton – go tell somebody about it, even if it is
something that normally wouldn’t result in disci

It’s said that about 80 percent of New Year’s resolutions are abandoned by the second week of February.1
This means if you made one for 2018, there’s a good chance it may
already have failed. There’s also a sizable number of people who set no
goals at all, New Year’s resolutions or otherwise, in part because they
may not realize the importance of goal setting and in part because they
may not know how to do it.2
There are other reasons why you may avoid goal setting as well,

Beginning shortly after President Donald J. Trump defeated Hillary
Clinton in the 2016 election, Americans were treated to a steady diet of
stories from the American Pravda media claiming that he “colluded” with
the Russian government to “steal the election.”
For months information meant to substantiate the claim, made in the
absence of any real evidence, was “leaked” to various news outlets known
to be friendly to Clinton, Democrats, and every known enemy

Modern healthcare: Turning We the People into an indentured revenue stream for the government-connected corporate elite

The United States may have been founded upon principles of freedom and liberty, but the America of today looks almost nothing
like what our founders originally envisioned. It’s become a system of
oppression for the average American who is now struggling to stay afloat
and simply put food on the table, let alone shell out the enormous
costs associated with medical care in the event that someone in the
family gets sick.

What we’re seeing in America today is a burgeoning system of indentured servitude where everyday people have become slaves to insurmountable debt,
increasing bills, unsustainable healthcare, and many other modern
“snares” that make the rich richer and the poor poorer. Somehow, over
the course of several hundred years, “we the people” went from being in
charge of their own government to becoming its permanent underclass –
and things are only getting progressively worse in this regard.

If you’re not convinced about this, just take a look at the average
hospital bill today and ask yourself if you’ve got that much cash on
hand for a medical emergency? Even “normal” medical procedures have
spiraled out of control, costing upwards of thousands or even tens of
thousands of dollars based on the insurance model of reimbursement.

Those who don’t have medical insurance are, of course, expected to
pay the full cost out of pocket. But even those with insurance are often
hit hard, whether with exorbitant monthly premiums or insanely high
deductibles. You just can’t win in today’s zero-sum system, which is
designed to bankrupt the average person while enriching the “one
percent.”

“Just because a person is insured, it doesn’t mean he or she can
actually afford their doctor, hospital, pharmaceutical, and other
medical bills,” writes Helaine Olen for The Atlantic. “The point
of insurance is to protect patients’ finances from the costs of
everything from hospitalizations to prescription drugs, but
out-of-pocket spending for people even with employer-provided health
insurance has increased by more than 50 percent since 2010.”

The ruling elite are robbing Americans – and nobody is doing anything about it

As of this writing, the collective cost of medical care in the United States today has topped $3.4 trillion
per year. In 2016, the average amount spent per person on medical care
was $10,000. In 2018, that figure is expected to rise sharply by 34
percent. And by the year 2023, American society can expect to be
shelling out $15,000 per person to cover individual medical costs.

Is this truly sustainable? Absolutely not. It isn’t even sustainable
at the current rates. And it’s important to remember that these are just
averages that include a entire pool of folks, many of whom don’t even
utilize the medical system on a regular basis. For people with severe
medical conditions like cancer or heart disease, these figures soar even
higher into astronomical territory – we’re talking $50,000 – $100,000
per patient and even higher. Who has this kind of money?

Recent research out of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center
found that about 85 percent of heart attack patients and 75 percent of
stroke patients face hospital bills that are greater than 40 percent of
their entire income after purchasing food. And roughly 60 percent of
uninsured heart attack patients face medical bills that are higher than
their entire annual income after purchasing food.

“Rising health-care costs are eating up the wage gains won by
American workers, who are being asked by their employers to pick up more
of the heftier tab,” reports Bloomberg
about this dire situation. “The cost of buying health coverage at work
has increased faster than wages and inflation for years, pressuring
household budgets.”
